There are two screws which sit at the top of the stands and like a ‘T’ shape and they screw into the rear body of the B&O speakers. They kind of hang of off the screws and a little stop below on the stand allows the speakers weight to push back against it. These are lovely stands so would love...

Can anyone help with recommendations for new speakers I could buy that are shallow in depth (similar to B&O S25 speakers) which will fit the original bang and olufsen speaker stands?

I have a pair of Band and Olufsen S45 speakers on the original lovely speaker stands. They are getting on a bit now and I’d like to replace them with new newer speakers but want to mount them on the same stands. The S45’s are wide and thin, not too deep in dimension like many modern speakers...

I have a budget of £130.00 to buy a pair of bookshelf size speakers for my kitchen diner. I will use my old Denon Dm30 micro system to power them. They have to go on the floor close to the wall. What speakers would be best? I was assuming front ported ones but have heard a few comments that even...

I have a 1960's sideboard in my living room that has the tv on top of it. At either end (it is about 130 cm wide) there are cupboards (with a closed back). I was thinking of getting a pair of speakers to put one each in the right and left cupboards so when I want to listen to music I can open up...

BigH - thanks for your suggestion. Those speakers are rear ported though - will they sound too 'boomy'? (I will be placing the speakers about 2 inches from the rear wall)

yes I have an amplifier or will have (either my old Onkyo DR S501 DVD receiver or a new Denon CEOL Piccolo)

up to £250.00

Hi I am looking to buy some small bookshelf speakers that will sit either side of my 32 inch tv on a sideboard. They will be about 2-3 inches from the rear wall. I am assuming sealed units such as Cambridge Audio's S20's or front ported ones such as Kef C1's will be most suitable. I am not sure...

yes - and 39 is the new 40, and 40 is the new 39 :wall:

I am looking to get a new tv as a step up from what has been a great Panasonic 32 inch lxd70. I just want a slightly larger screen for our mosest sized living room. But all I can go up to now is 39 inches which is just that bit too big (don't want a big screen dominating the room). Why are there...

Hi I want to to get a 2.1 active system to hook up to my tv/tivo and apple tv-itunes. Thinking of Jamo or Boston Acoustics but want to make sure that it isn't too bass heavy. I am concerned that a separate subwoofer is going to be too boomy when listening to music at a normal lowish level i.e...

Modern thin TVs now have poorly performing down firing speakers. So, why no more designs with forward facing (and great sounding) speakers like on my 4yr old Panasonic 32 inch LXD70? The speakers on this set are at the bottom of the screen so do make the face of the TV bigger but I am not...

Thinking of getting the Yamaha RXV363 receiver and a pair of Wharfedle Diamond 9.1's to connect my DVD player to. Without having speakers everywhere - I want a compromise between good music playback and a fairly good enhanced (better than tv speakers) sound when watching a movie. Will the...

I am pondering on either one of two set-ups for my living room. 1. Denon M30 micro-hifi (already use), Wharfedale Diamonds 9.1 (or similar that sound good at lowish volumes and can be placed against a wall), £70-£100 good dvd player with 1080p, sound/picture sync. 2. Yamaha YSP-500 sound bar...
